Elijah made sure his grandfather was buried without any problem so that his soul would rest in perfect peace.“ What happened back there?” Hank asked as he drove Elijah away.“ I knew they would plan for me but I don't know who among my enemies want me down today” Elijah replied calmly while Hank looked at him through the rearview mirror.“ You look so much calmer than I expected,” Hank said, making Elijah chuckle.“ I am not afraid of death so you don't need to be afraid at all. I have many enemies but I am surely going to overcome each and every one of them” Hank only nodded and faced the road driving off to Elijah's villa.“ Please have a good rest tonight, you've done a lot” Hank said immediately as he parked Elijah's car inside the Villa.“ Thanks Hank, tomorrow, we will go see the land and pay for it” Elijah said and Hank nodded before bowing his head.

    Elijah was already dressed when Hank came into his villa to pick him up.“ Good morning Young master” Hank bowed his head shortly which led to Elijah chuckling.“ For how long will you keep calling me young master Hank? It's so embarrassing especially when it's coming from your mouth” Elijah replied and made his way out of the villa to the parking garage while Hank followed behind him.“ So what car would you love to drive?” Elijah turned to face Hank.“ They are all yours so you're to decide that yourself not me” Hank muttered, his cheeks red with embarrassment which made Elijah to chuckle.“ Are you for real right now? Your cheeks are all shades of red right now, don't tell me you're blushing?” Elijah teased as his eyes fell off a red Lamborghini Aventador.“ I will go with this” he pointed at the red Lamborghini and immediately Hank rushed to the car and opened it to start driving, while Elijah sat at the passenger’s corner.“ What's on my schedule today?” Elijah asked and Hank rai

    “ Are we going directly to see the land?” Hank joined Elijah as he made his way out of the board room.“ Yes, get the car ready let's go” Elijah replied and took out his phone when it began to ring.“ Hello, who is this?” He asked calmly.“ It's me, Isabella, “ the feminine voice said softly from the other end of the phone.“ Why did you call?” Elijah asked calmly so as not to sound rude but truth to be told, he was so pissed off because of what happened some minutes ago inside the boardroom.The fact that the board members didn't trust him made him more mad and he needed someone to transfer his aggression on, but he was holding it in so as not to transfer the anger in him to Isabella who just called to ask how he was faring.“ How are you? Are you okay now?” She asked worriedly and almost immediately Elijah's angry face turned soft and a smile graced his lips which made Hank furrow his brows.“ Who the hell is he talking to that made him smile?” Hank mumbled to himself as he kept loo

    Elijah left the Empire to prepare for the dinner with Isabella. He got home and took a cool shower before dressing in a light blue shirt, a black suit and black trousers. The first two buttons of the shirt were left unbuttoned, showing his chiselled chest. The shirt was tight, showing his muscular arms giving him a very different look from the workaholic Elijah and his hair combed and brushed to the back.“ You look so much different today, young master” Hank who was standing in the sitting room said after he saw Elijah's new look.“ Is it so obvious?” Elijah asked, checking himself out.“ It's so obvious. You look totally different that I would mistake you for someone else” Hank said, making Elijah scoff.“ So where are you going that you look so different?” Hank asked and Elijah smiled.“ I am going to dinner with Isabella,” Elijah said and Hank's eyes widened.“ Isabella?

Why are you angry?” Mrs Wales, his mother asked as she made her way out of the kitchen.“ Where's dad?” Weston ignored her questions as he looked around for any sign of his father.“ Why are you so angry?

I never knew you could stoop so low as to get what you want using me after our discussion the other day.

Don't get too angry because we are getting married very soon and I won't spare you in bed. I will screw that little hole of yours so bad that you will plead for mercy” Weston said drunkenly.“ I won't get married to you. I will never! Even if it's the last thing I do.

    “ I won't kill you Master Xi'an, instead, I will make it fair. We would participate in a sword fighting, whoever wins, kills the other” Elijah said, making Isabella gasp as she stood up and walked towards him.“ What are you doing? Now is your chance to end him, why are you trying to kill yourself once again?” Isabella was extremely worried.“ Did I ever tell you that I can't die if death isn't natural? So put your mind to rest, this will only make it a fair game” Elijah smiled.“ Kelvin, let him go. He needs to clad his sword with Lotus flower poison, so he can kill me once again” Elijah said in a mocking tone which made Hank and Dracula burst into laughter.Once Kelvin let Master Xi'an go, he disappeared from the board room.

On getting to her office, she sat down in the swivel chair which belongs to Elijah.She kept touching the chair and table and it felt like Elijah was in the office with her.“ I know you're missing him, but you need to move on” a voice said inside Isabella's head.“ Yeah, I need to move in as prove to him that his Empire is in safe hands” Isabella nodded her head and almost immediately he became business-minded and focused at the same time.

    “ Look around Uncle, your disciples are all dead and you will be the next” Elijah smirked as he took slow steps towards Master Xi'an.“ Not so fast, Nephew. My disciples might all be dead but I think you will be the next, I am not dying but you're the one dying” Master Xi'an said as he took his sword from its sheath.It glittered amidst the collision with the sunset.“ Nice sword you have there,” Elijah smiled, but his smile disappeared almost immediately as he positioned himself, ready to charge towards Master Xi'an.

The battle font!” Master Xi'an shouted.“ Yes, Master!” The soldiers chorused before marching with Master Xi'an and Nora behind them As they marched, Master Xi'an had a smirk on his face because he had something to rely on that would surely kill Elijah.“ I am sorry Nephew, but you're dying by my sword” Master Xi'an said inwardly. After ten minutes of marching to the alley where the battle would be taking place, they already met Elijah and his men there. They were standing with a blank expression. That's number one rule in winning your enemies; they shouldn't know your next move or your expression on what you feel at that moment.“ Dear Uncle, have you told your disciples the truth?” Elijah stepped forward with a mischievous smile on.“ Uncle?” Nora's eyes widened in shock. Never in her wildest dreams would she have thought that Master Xi'an is

    “ What? My late wife? How did you know about it?” Mr Ramos started to stutter.“ Why won't I know when you have a son here?” Elijah smiled pointing at Kelvin who stepped forward.“ Why would you say something like that? We both worked hard for this company, it belongs to us both but now that she's dead, it belongs to me” Mr Ramos shouted angrily.“ It doesn't belong to you, Father, because you killed my mother all because you want the company to yourself and want to bring in Gregory and his mother” Kelvin said, his eyes blazing with hatred as he spoke.“ What are you talking about, bastard! Why would my father kill your pathetic mother?” Gregory stood up from the ground and rushed towards Kelvin, but Elijah held his wrist tightly, not letting him take another step further.“ What do you know?, bastard!” Mr Ramos walked towards Kelvin and landed a deafening slap across his face.“ You can slap me for all I care, but I won't let a murderer reap where he didn't sow” Kelvin gritted his te
